Reasons Why Gilead Capital Lp Bought – Landauer Inc Stock

Purpose of Transaction

.

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

On November 22, 2016, the Reporting Persons issued an open letter to the Board expressing their concerns regarding the Issuer’s corporate governance and poor long-term financial performance.In the letter, the Reporting Persons first addressed the issue of Executive Chairman Michael Leatherman.The Reporting Persons had discovered that Mr. Leatherman was a not Certified Public Accountant, contrary to statements in the Issuer’s filings.The Reporting Persons had brought this information to Mr. Leatherman’s attention and the attention of the full Board, but no action has been taken to date to make Mr. Leatherman account for this misrepresentation.The Reporting Persons also detailed other governance concerns in the letter, such as (i)

the Issuer’s accounting restatement and revision processes for the fiscal years ending 2011 through 2014

,

which occurred while Mr. Leatherman acted as interim Chief Financial Officer and as a member of the Audit Committee, (ii) the Board’s capital allocation, including with respect to the implementation of the Enterprise Resource Planning system which budget ballooned from $10 million to $57 million and the Board’s decision to acquire a medical products business without obvious synergies, which was ultimately sold at a loss of more than 88%, and (iii) the Board’s failure thus far to execute on wireless dosimetry technology despite publicly disclosing plans to pursue such technology since 2010.The Reporting Persons stated their belief that the Issuer’s governance issues have taken a toll on the Issuer’s financial health, noting the Issuer’s precipitous decline in adjusted operating margins, from nearly 40% to 20% since 2008, and net cash, from a net cash position of $29 million in 2008 to a net debt position of $100 million as of June 30, 2016.The Reporting Persons also noted the Board’s 50% reduction in quarterly dividend payments in 2015 and poor shareholder returns since 2008 compared to the Issuer’s peer group and industry indices.The Reporting Persons further noted that every director who oversaw this extended underperformance remains a director on the Board, including Executive Chairman Michael Leatherman.Accordingly, the Reporting Persons demanded that the Board take immediate action to remove Mr. Leatherman as a director and officer of the Issuer, disclose the process by which Mr. Leatherman and fellow director Bill Dempsey were appointed to the Board (each of whom came through company contacts), establish a special committee of independent directors to investigate and strengthen the nomination and review process for director candidates, and appoint Jeffrey Strong as a director to help remedy the governance shortfalls.The Reporting Persons concluded that if the Board fails to address the aforementioned governance deficiencies, the Reporting Persons would act to protect shareholder value, including proposing a slate of directors at the Issuer’s annual meeting of shareholders. The full text of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
